[Sidenote: Let the wife love her husband.] First and prynycypally the wyfe is bounde of ryghte to loue her housbande, aboue father and mother, and aboue [Sidenote: [Fol. 60_b_.]] all other men.

And are made by the vertue of the sacrament of holy [Sidenote: One body, and two souls.] scripture one fleshe, one bloude, one body, and two 8 soules. Wherfore theyr hartes, theyr myndes, theyr warkes, and occupations, shulde be all one, neuer to seuer nor chaunge durynge theyr natural lyues, by any mannes acte or dede, as it is sayde in the same gospel: 12 [Sidenote: Matt. xix. 9.] [Sidenote: Mark x. 9.] _Quod deus coniunxit, homo non separet_: That thynge that god hath ioyned to-gether, noo man maye seuer nor departe. Wherfore it is conuenyente that they loue eche other as effectually as they wolde doo theyr owne 16 selfe, &c.
